I sort of like it, suppose the cover will look better in print. Its definitely haunting and intriguing. I certainly didn't expect Stella to be on the cover but that's what I like about Vogue Italia, sometimes never knowing who might show up next. Her waist is kind of concerning me though, perhaps post production is to blame?

Beyond elegance. It was a style choice, but especially one of love (her husband liked her that way) that inspired Ethel Granger (1905-1982) to tighten herself into corsets that modified her waist up to the point of reaching a record measure of thirty-three centimeters, a limit that has not been surpassed to this day.

A revolutionary woman, who, also to indulge her husband’s tastes, did not hesitate to have dozens of piercings done back in the Fifties. She is the inspiration behind this cover and the fashion shoot interpreted by an intense Stella Tennant. Who, to emphasize Ethel’s decisive and distinctive allure, wears an exclusive perfume, beyond any olfactory stereotype, like Infusion d’Iris by Prada.

it's been a while since Steven step outside! I personally think it's beautiful but
it seems like a conventional VI couture supplement than a september issue cover that could rival many other beautiful covers we have seen for the last few weeks.
